The Hobbit House | Abandoned Fairytale Cottage In The Middle Of Nowhere

- In todays episode, we venture into the English countryside to find a hand built stone castle that looks like something out of a fairytale.
One mans fantasy build began in 1989, eleven years in the making, now sits deserted and apparently never quite completed.
Built from salvaged bits of stone from the surrounding area, he intended to create his animals a home but ended up with something rather special... it is now known as the Hobbit House.
This right hand side of the building has some beautiful details, from stained glass windows featuring the seasons and elements, sculptured walls, a stone armchair and spiral staircase, this small but spacious room feels especially cosy.
This hidden gem is something we wont soon forget, it really is a magical experience, hats off to the man who created this enchanted cottage.
Check out Dark Arts TV to see this place after nightfall and discover if anything or anyone remains here.
Huge thanks to Matt, The Secret Vault for his top notch drone footage.

The man who built this is both a visionary and an artist in the best sense of the word! That place is stunning! Those animals were living large! 😸✌

When I heard it was built for his animals I was blown away.
The Council should protect that and make a special effort to put it into the hands of people who will treasure and protect it for all time to come.
the council took it from him in the first place

I am amazed that ONE man built this by himself in only eleven years. Incredible
This unordinary building is absolutely a treasure and I think it's like a heritage that deserved to be protected by good hands. In 8 years he built it with all his passion.❤️💯
Sad to see that someone has smashed the beautiful windows. I hate that side of humanity.
It was probably storm damage with flying branches

agree with thinkfirst comment; it does not look deliberate, rather the inevitable disintegration that happens over time...
I take it you guys have looked up the older images on the story? Built by an old sheep farmer and artist it's all hand made even the windows but he sold up the land to move to Scotland due to a quarry opening up next door and disturbing his peace.
Great work and a lovely explore, I couldn't believe my eyes!!
Poor guy! I'd be so sad to have to leave such a beautiful place!
Sounds like me if I'd have stayed in my junky house I wanted to fix up. Neighborhood went too far down.
Did he build a house like that in Scotland too?
@@sara1coco it said in the article I read that he's living in a normal house. Bless him.
Thanks. I wonder why the builder just left it.
I love the stained glass which is especially suited for all the stone work and unique design.
What an amazing place there should be a preservation order put on it before it gets trashed . The chap that build it must have had a vivid imagination, a great voice over and drone footage well done again Sam and Jess for another great explore x
You can imagine what the local authorities would say about this property, they would want demolish it immediately because it fails to satisfy their building codes.
....and to be fair they could use the space to rebuild, possibly a block of 1+2 bedroom studio apartments complete with a concierge system and even state of art gym?
This would be achieved using steel and tinted glass thus bringing a sense of modernization to this area?

@@steve9542000 you're kidding right??
Man! This Place is the Bomb I hope some one renovates it and makes it a Bed and Breakfast ( second Breakfast ,third Breakfast!?)or like a Fairytaile cottage
Amazing that this person probably worked on that till they weren't capable of doing so any longer. I could imagine and elderly man standing up in that loft lit by candles meticulously placing the perfect stones, just at the correct angles to create what to me is one of the most unique structures I've ever seen someone build.
ALSO: Just a heads up, the tone of your voice along with the volume of the music made it a little difficult to hear what you're saying.
Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us! Safe travels =)
This little castle/house is like all my childhood dreams of magic and fantasy lands come to life! Oh how I wish I was wealthy!! I would certainly buy and restore this place! It would be purely enchanting to have the building and surrounding areas cleaned up and protected!!! Can't you just see bringing children on field trips to run and play in such a lovely place!!! Thank you so much for showing us this stunning piece of art!!
Sad to see something like this going to waste when you think of the work that went into it Amazing Great video thankyou
Wow, Thank you for that magical journey through the Hobbit House. A wonderful experience I would never have gotten to see without your videos.
It’s wonderful, how are you doing Jamie I hope you’re safe from the virus?
Wow, only built in 1989? Back when I was still alive and going to school? If you didn't tell us that I would've been under the impression that this "castle" had been built at least a good hundred years ago. Time goes by much too fast it seems :(
Amazing this man loved his Annimals. This place is gorgeous. It's such a shame to let this fall apart....It's something out of a story Book....It would make a great museum. Just that it would be preserved.
There's not a piece of slate left for 2 miles around the whole building.Its amazing how one man made this ove time.Would like to see it all cleaned up with some gardens.Bring it back to its glory...
It would be terrific someone would bring it back to life
ONLY IN MY DREAMS did i think a proper shire house exists. Beautiful.
That place should be fully restored and museumised for the next generations to see!
9.45 theres a hounting blairwitch!
That was the girl in one of the upstairs windows
Fantastic place! I hope it will remain preserved for others to admire it...
What an utterly beautiful and magical house, I can see why you wanted to go there Jess, just lovely, thanks guys 💓
Amazing guys! Great solution to the housing crisis too LOL! We should all build epic stone fantasy houses like this!😁😁😁
Has the feel of Gaudi ..very nice.
I've seen this place before but yours is the best video of it I've seen yet, found you through Secret Vanult and I really like your style ad narration, I can see you having a lot of success on your channel, you have a great mentor in Matthew who is a font of knowledge and has the balls to go where no man has gone before!! Will look forward to following your progress.
Dont just film this and leave it! Preserve it! Love it as he obviously did! Dont let it die!
How hardworking they can make very amazing building ... i hope someone can bring the glory to this Hobbit House n restore it... next generation can see that
Wow, absolutely awesome. No wonder Jess has been wanting to explore there for years. I thought it was funny that you'd just said that Karl was coming for a supernatural explore, then Jess says "Hello!" and pops her head out. Also great aerial footage. I hope no idiots find it and trash it or graffiti all over it. Cheers, from Australia. xx
A friend and I snuck in there 2 years ago and got some awesome shots on a mist covered morning, great to see it hasn't changed. Be careful of the farmer who owns the land, apparently he can be rather unpleasant to visitors!
He certainly is. One of the nastiest experiences I've ever had.
@@xuepingchun8530 What did he do and say? If he had a shotgun I would run! 😱
I live in the us and have a farm if people come on to your property and so much as scratch a knee they try to sue you for injury. I hope it's not like that there but some trespassers do cause a lot of damage or let cattle out.
WOW I'm going there I want to see this for myself Thanks for share Sam, Jess and Matt
Beautiful house the stone work is amazing. Thanks Sam and jess
Wow what a fantastic place a true spectacle the guy who built this was truely artistic in his imagination. This place should be made into a site of an attraction to preserve it for other generations.
Thank you! I was glad to see it with little decay and most of the windows intact.
A living fairytale! Bloody awesome! X
This has to be saved!!🙏 Work of wonder and art!!
It looks like it's a Castle for the 'Monarchs' of the 'Fairy Folk' 😳😃😘✨✌!
Stain glass windows👍 ! Hand made,moulded flowers on the walls? Amazing work of Art,👍👍
This is so fantastic so creative the person that put this together put all his heart and soul into this place and yes someone should take it over and restore it, fantastic!!
It's something we could all see ourselves building when we were children......but I should think since this is in the UK that the local building codes do NOT allow for this to be lived in ! Sad - that's what happens when you have regulations about such things....well meaning, but totally squashing creativity ! It's very pretty !
Those leaded windows weren't make in a week. Those things takes weeks to make. So enchanting and unusual. Loved you guys!🤗🤗
Not sure why everyone is assuming it was done by one man. In days gone by entire families and extended families worked on a project like this. Definitely unusual. But very common to keep the animals in the same structure. For thousands of years in every country it was practical. Main source of warmth.....
Needs looking after and repair befor the elements take over such beauty.. Never seen nothing like it. Built single handedly is amazing,hats off to the creator/builder.
That was a fantastic and magical place what a find.!!! Thanks for sharing that Sam and Jess keep up the good work❤xx
Not exactly the typical cottage. Thankyou for sharing.
Absolutely awesome explore. Perfectly named. Thank you for sharing.
MR C definitely got a bit carried away with his barn and I'm glad he did because this is one of my favourite places. I swear jess and her excitement was me inside😊 it's lovely. Jess needs to do a bucket list of how many hobbit houses she can visit So I can see them too🤗.
It one of those must see things Like 75 of the most colourful places in the world to visit Or the guy who built the mosaic house.
I love all that. Great video Sam&Jess🤗💜 👍
Thank you again and again. God Bless and be careful!!!
Beautiful. Can tell the difference between the finished area and the unfinished.
He could have built a house for me anytime.
What an amazing explore. I love your videos. Thank you
thois is the kind of artist i love. the work just done to express himself and not for money , a natural genious and a real farmer to boot sperding his life on a farm like robert frost and remaining .unspoit by all the temptations of fame and money.
Building an own ancient and archetypal dream.Beautiful indeed !
An architectural masterpiece which looks enchanting. This house must be protected for future generations. Thanks for the explore. What respectful people you are in your videos . Thanks again
wow guys what an amazing little place, how cool that one man made that for his animals, but look what it turned into, amazing place so cool i luv it, and the work he put into it like the windows and stone work, brilliant video thanks for sharing must of missed this one when i was in hospital loved this thanks guys keep up the good work x
WOWED !!!! Appreciate!!!!
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece in the middle of nowhere !!! It's fantastic!!!! so hard to believe one man build all this Stone structure so elaborately
I adore this place. Seen a lot of videos of it and can't get enough. The farmer who owns it now can cut up rough, though. So folk need to be careful when going there.
Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing....
Stonework like that is an art What a beautiful exhibit
Can't imagine of how many hands put that bricks one by one all over the wall and roof into a very large castle. Amazing! The government must restore that place and castle for the most wonder of the world
I am so glad to see the place isn't destroyed by Vandals absolutely gorgeous place
If I could I'd surely give this a gazillion likes! I love it!
It's hard to believe that a place such as this is left to just be overgrown by weeds or even worse, be vandalised. It's absolutely magical and there was so much amazing stonework. It took a very talented person to build this and it was done with such care and attention to detail! I wish I could live there! I hope it holds up for generations to explore!
At first, the "dry stones" building is very common in Provence where I come from. Look Bories village. it was usually sheperd house. for me this house is obvioulsy made with straw and cob. Love it a lot. I love the artist spirit too. Very lovely. Thanks a lot to share. Kisses from Québec, Canada to both of you
True artist inspiration took over. A real creative genius. Although he probably did not know it. That's what happens sometimes . Things just evolve . I prefer it when you pair go to places like this. You really appreciate it.
Man that hobbit house was jaw dropping amazing man ty so much for the amazing video.i wish I mean I really wish I could experience in person.but yall do such a great job I do think I'm right there.be safe out there.
I would want to clean it up and move in. Have the home fires burning behind those beautiful windows. Thank you for sharing.
The amount of craftsmanship that went into this place is amazing. It must have been so much fun to build. It's a shame it was never finished. It would have made a great holiday home.
Another cracking video guys, love your voice-overs, one small comment just have the music volume level ever so slightly lower so as not to drown out your voice.
That is an excellent suggestion the music did out Over power your voice 😉
I would live in that, I’ve been into fantasy since I was a mere child, I love fantasy, especially old school style from the 80s.
Is it listed? Bloody well should be. Thank you for your video
Nice explore. Thanks for sharing it. The stone work is amazing. It makes one wonder how long it took to build. Keep them videos coming
I Liked your vocal introduction to the video it was very professional ,and yes have watched Secret vault first, but you have a talent for talk over which stood out, good luck stay safe love your explores.
Frozen in time! Beautiful!
Thank you so very much for sharing this with everyone.its simply amazing... Takes your breath away. Really beautiful ❤️
Increíble place, had never seen a kinda,construction like that.
Pure stone,wonderful.
That place is absolutely amazing. Enchanting is a word that first hit me. That is one place I would love to have seen finished. I would like to find more info on its history and the man who built it. Too bad it's just falling into decay. Cool that no one has vandalized it. Can't imagine there being any paranormal activity if just the one person lived there unless he died there.
What an amazing place made of true grit, wonder, and imagination.. I wish they still made human's who had skills like his.. Thank you for the grand tour of the Hobbit House! Cheers from the high desert!!!
God I love all the stone work in the building materials!
That is so awesome.. The amount of stacked stones is incredible
I re-watched this on -.25 speed to see ALL the details & turned off the sound… so enchanting!
Wow that place is insane, it looks like it should be in a theme park but its real. Great explore guys!
Thanks for uploading this video. We would never have known/seen it with you guys. Cheers.
~❤
quaint little enjoyable video i really enjoyed that , pat on the back to all you guys
Beautiful,ethereal little home,I love it. I think it was lovely that the guy did this for his flock and lived above them. It's a shame it has been abandoned but on the other hand it is somewhere for dreamers to visit and imagine living there. What a Super beautiful gem. BTW Jess is so pretty and has lovely hair I'm well jell of those natural waves :)
I had put off watching this one as it didn't really look as interesting from the thumbnail. But it turned out to be one of the most awesome. I can't even imagine the owner building it. Finding or creating all those flat shale pieces. Just incredible. I've been backing up on some of your videos so you may hear more out of me till I get caught up. Either way Best to You.
Very pretty, unusual place. Thanks for bringing it to the people to see!
Absolutely stunning rock work
Absolutely beautiful- thank you!!
Such a shame someone doesn't buy it and finish it and clean it up, repair the glad. I love it!!
Absolutely loved this!
Thank you so much
Love it. I'd love living in a place like that. Needs work but would so be worth it.
So beautiful I love it
Sad to see such a unique place going to ruin. Great video :-)
It has not deteriorated much.
It's a candle lantern, not an oil lamp. Theres no reservoir for oil.
Building something like that nowadays would be impossible you'd never get planning permission or pass building regulations.
its not intended for living within so planning regulations wouldn't be involved, you could simply make a peace of art-work.
also you can have a none permanent structure where only a outlined consent is required "its not hard to get" the guy who designed the angel of the north, he's got some large metal statues in his garden he's designed & made with no issues
It was only intended for animals & you are entitled to build a shelter on land that you work. It is when you start wanting to install water & power that the problems start.
@@sarahstrong7174 No, issues begin when habitation is wanted &/OR a structure is built that purpose is the key goal... stepping to the side even large artwork has also been looked down upon & sometimes requires planning permission "especially if someone reports any such structure/building" you then also get hit with building regs & safety requirements "especially if the structure is near OR accessible to/by the public"
installing power/water isnt an issue at all
very Cool 👍 Hobbit house 🏡 Castle
Awesome beautiful architecture..And the Windows..Amazing♡
If i was a millionaire..I would buy and restore this amazing fairytale like place♡
That is beautiful work. Would make for great hunting hangout. The guy must have been really short. Also, would contain much heat if he had a fireplace. Love this.
What a beautiful place,they should turn it into a musium
I think you’re absolutely right, how are you doing Lynette I hope you’re safe from the virus?
What about creating a ''go fund me'' page for this amazing art work? It could be a nice crowd funding project.
So beautiful.may be your gov.should renovate that hobbit house.Its one of a kind.
Lost for words amazing indeed and all done in 11 years
I just wish This Hobbit House stay Pure and Untouched by the Riff Raff
for Future Generations to SEE the WONDER of it all
